Conceptual Manifesto

To crystallize the exact moment of the explosion. To turn the essence itself of my creative process into concrete shapes. (Mind)blowing is a physical display of what happens inside my head when I conceive a new vision. Continuously. A single dot drawn into a line and from that to another and another. Again and again until a single idea becomes a complex multidimensional structure. An entire galaxy of possibilities and potential getaways to follow.

It all happens quickly. Everything explodes. Everything’s on fire. A furious, insistent, persistent sequence of numerous images instantly collects in my eyes, a rich projection coming from my mind. This is what (Mind)blowing tries to capture in a precise Figure.

If my ambition is an atom, my vision another atom. Both speedily travel continuously in a black-endless-space, one against the other, toward a powerful collision. So many atoms all over. There, right in the middle, is what I am. What I want to be. What (Mind)blowing is: energy/antimatter/gravity/power/beauty/shadow/light. A light “brighter than a thousand suns” increasing its strength each day. An encounter between the forces of darkness and light, and above all, the display of the consequences of such an encounter.

Through the use of different materials, I’m intensely exploring what I’ve already looked for in Poliedro [Polyhedron]: connections, interactions, nodes, angles, and above all, the effect of my synaptic process projected from the interior to the exterior collective consciousness. This is the synthesis of my work, and likewise, its complexity: a constant fire that never burns out. A fire that

I blow on with my breath to keep it feeding. To keep it on high. To keep myself on high.

Considering how frenzied all this is, (Mind)blowing represents a chance to slow down. Not the process, but, at least, its display to the public. So the public can get it.
